UW's Alvarez, Packers' Finley make radio waves

Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez has talked with two teams in the Pac-10 about the possibility of playing non-conference games in the future.

"I just came back from Big Ten/Pac-10 meetings (Tuesday)," Alvarez told WSSP-AM (1250) on the "Chuck and Wickett" show. "Talked with Stanford and also talked with Colorado. We are trying to work things out. We take a look at future schedules and try to be pretty creative with nine conference football games. So that means some of those years you have four conference games at home, five on the road. We want to have seven at home. We just mandated that for our budget purposes. We have to be creative."
